Chris 'The Bear' Fallica's Top 10 College Football Rankings: Week 9 Edition
This past weekend was absolute chaos.
Four AP top 10 teams lost, which marked the second time this season that four top 10 teams have lost in the same week.

It may have well been a 7-on-7 passing scrimmage in Madison on Saturday. Julian Sayin continues to grow and the defense continues to dominate, although it will be interesting to see them against better offenses in the CFP. With five games left, they face four teams that have a losing record until the showdown with Indiana in the Big Ten title game.
The Hoosiers did exactly what a team should do against an overmatched opponent. But still, there could have been a big letdown off the win at Oregon and there wasn’t. In the same vein as Ohio State, Curt Cignetti's team has five games remaining— with all of them against teams with losing records, until the showdown against Ohio State.
Seriously, how do they continue to step up week after week? The Tide have four straight weeks with a win over a ranked foe. There's probably not many teams that would run through that stretch 4-0.

Yeah, that's what I thought.
History suggested the Aggies wouldn't have an easy go of it against the Razorbacks, and they didn't. Vandy and Ole Miss had a good bit of success against the LSU defense, but that was at home— not in Tiger Stadium. It's always dangerous to
